I've Always Been a Book Worm

Some things never change!  Remember when I found these lovelies on Tricia's blog?

Well, it truly became a case of "I Can't Resist" and I ordered a few from her fabulous shop, Avolli. Tricia hand-picked my books for me...you heard right.  She gives incredible customer service and is a sweet spirited friend to boot!  So my lovelies arrived and here they are, right at home with my handful of other meaningful antique books from my grandmother.

Tricia chose Jack London titles for me... in Swedish!

I love how the edges of these pages are marbled, just like the cover!

I added my grandmother's Louisa May Alcott book to balance the blues on the mantle.  Love the combination of colors and textures.

My other antique books moved to my coffee table on the silver tray.

Not only do I love the personal touches and slices of history these provide, but they're beautiful, too. And they can work in any decor... I've pulled together an ideabook on Houzz to show you how.

How about you?  Any vintage titles on your shelves or tables?

Linking up with Cha Cha's Sentimental Sundays...

Happy Decorating!
